Wierd CD ripping

Recently I bought Josh Turner's CD Long Black Train, because I liked the title track. I also love Itunes, since I could listen to the others, and decide if I liked them enough to get the CD. I did, so I did. Since I bought an Ipod to listen to my songs at work, I ripped the CD to an MP3.

Anyway, something very weird happens when i play the MP3 on my headphones from my Ipod. The beginning of the song has a train sound, and then a few guitar chords. For some reason, the music is offset such that it is alternately louder in one ear that the other. Think of holding your headphones away from your ears with them turned up loud, and shaking your head in a NO motion. I actually find it sort of disorienting, since I feel like my head is turning really fast, but I don't have any of the other sensations besides audio.

I think I'll try to rerip it here soon. But I'll save the first one, just because it sounds so strange.
